32GBs DDR4

[Liller15]

Hey guys, i have 32 gbs of ddr4 memory in my pc. But is it overkill for gaming??? Nah dont think so cuz i have 100+ google Chrome webpages open, what do you guys think?

As someone with 32GB of DDR4 RAM, I can say that it's nice to have, since I used to make it a point to close out my browsers before playing something like a triple-A game, but now I don't worry about it. It's also nice if you decide to stream, record, or edit videos. I also have 8GB used as a RAMdisk for photo/video/audio editing, as well as my 7zip cache, my browser cache, and a few other things, and I can say that for some things it definitely speeds things up.

You can sell 16gb for more than you likely paid for it if you've had it for more than a year

I have 32 gbs aswell, but im bad at dedicating the ram for the different programs, does this affect things???

Problem is just that, im running 32 gbs in single channel 2x16gb

You don't have to dedicate RAM manually, memory management is done by your OS and the programs you use (unless you're doing photo/video/audio editing which lets you choose how much RAM they can use). If you don't have a use for it, then by all means sell it for some nice quick cash.

You got your words mixed up their: do you mean you have it in dual channel with 2x16GB, or in single channel 1x32GB?

Doesn't really matter if you're not running integrated graphics/ APU. Why did you buy the RAM if you don't know if you need it xD?

I want 2x16 GB Trident Z RGBs.

Hell naw.

The 16gb modules are most likely dual sided / dual banked dimms alot of motherboards are not well suited to these at all especially @ 3200mhz

IIf i had that much i would be running a few more VM's or up converting to 4k while gaming
